Week 17: Jones vs. Panthers
Despite playing through an oblique injury, Julio Jones caught seven-of-eight targets for 107 yards in the Falcons' Week 16 win over the Saints. He proved on his first reception that he would be more than just a decoy when he high-pointed a pass with a defender at his back and secured 23-yard catch for a first down. While he was held out of practice this week, Jones should play on Sunday despite not being 100-percent healthy. If the Falcons beat the Panthers then they'll win the NFC South and host a playoff game next week, so there's no reason to think Jones will hold himself out. He's our No. 6 overall WR for Week 17 and should be in all lineups.
